Hi. I am really grateful for the platform that Lit provided me to use and abuse. This is my way of giving back. This is intended for new Writers/Authors who are interested in learning a practical, technical method of developing their stories. Since I am posting this on Lit, the article focuses on Authors wishing to write and post on Lit and similar forum...
I was sitting at my local library, tapping out on my laptop..much like I'm doing right now. I was so engrossed in what I was writing, that I hardly noticed anybody passing by. As a short story author, I often get so "tuned in" to the stories that I write, that everything else gets tuned out. The phone might ring with a collector..but I don't hear it because...
{For Ravenfox who gave me the idea.} * "But I don't want to," whined the winsome young ingenue. "Why do I have to be the naked one?" She twirled her hair around her fingers and looked around the bare room at the others. "Because," explained the young stud standing beside her, "this is a porn site and us guys wanna see naked women!" "Yes, I know that," sh...
I often re-read stories that I like. My bookshelves groan with the weight of books collected over the last sixty odd years. To re-read the stories from the Literotica web site needs, at the very least, a note of the titles and authors. I lost track of three stories before I started making notes! Furthermore, on holiday at our caravan there is no way of conne...
Without characters, a story is little more than a detailed road-map, or atlas. Empty scenes, and situations would be hollow, blank neighborhoods, fictional deserts of magnitudes post apocalyptic. Imagine reading a book where you were given beautiful descriptions, detailed environments, dangerous scapes, and deadly terrains, but nothing happened. Ever. Thi...
The author was restlessly walking in circles, orbiting a suite of sofas and chairs, which made up the center of their suite's living room. Through the bedroom door, Eliza eyed her sleepily for a while, still stretching and rubbing her eyes. After all of last night's turmoil, the assistant had some much needed rest, to process all the new impressions. Imogene...
Another great anthology of erotica that I highly recommend is SwitchHitters, edited by Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel. I purchased this book for the main purpose that it included a short story from Laura Antoniou, the author of The Marketplace series. Her particular entry in this anthology is about one of the characters from the premiere book in that serie...
To begin my little essay, let me say that you will be much more successful and contented as an author if you concentrate more on the former than on the latter. Good day. My name is BrettJ, as you can see from the header. If any of you are new to my work, I am a prolific writer of erotica. On this site alone, I have accomplished the authorship of nearly 500...
"Never piss off an author, an artist, or a musician." -- Unknown * Someone may know the author of that quote or variant of it but it's a very solid warning. It's been shown time and time again that artists of all kinds use people they know in their work and if they don't like that person it can get very ugly very fast. What's worse is that unless the targe...
